A newcomer to Danae Festival, Olimpia Fortuni is a dancer and choreographer graduated at the Paolo Grassi Academy in Milan and at the two-year course “Scritture per la danza contemporanea” directed by Raffaella Giordano. After a number of collaborations in arts and contemporary dance – Tino Sehgal, Vettor Pisani, Teatro Valdoca, Sharon Fridman, Zerogrammi, Costanzo/Rustioni, Company blu, Raffaella Giordano, Giorgio Rossi and Ambra Senatore, among others – in 2014 she started her authorial career.

Fine is a search on the relationship with the biological, spiritual, artistic and symbolic mother. In the Andean religion, pachamama – which means Cosmic Mother, Celestial Mother, Mother Nature in the Quechua language – is a form of gratitude of man towards nature.

Fine is a final rite to express gratitude for what has been and, as its end approaches, prepares to be born under another shape. The play is thus a rite of pachamama, a form of acknowledgment and gratitude expressed by the author to her artistic mothers, Milena Costanzo and Raffaella Giordano, two women who, with their words, their bodies rich in knowledge, experiences and memories, have guided her in her artistic path. Today, their bodies are like Sacred Temples of a theatre that left a mark and makes them crucial witnesses of this play, whose choreography is meant as a link between past and future, between Mother and daughter, with memories and visions where the body is the keeper of tools allowing to discover the otherness and the beyond.
